Fifth Prenatal Visit: Bigger Belly and Frequent Kicks for the Second

This was the quickest prenatal visit I had so far.  Since its summer, I had to bring my daughter with me on my fifth prenatal visit.  My Ob-gyn was so happy to see my eldest whom she delivered six years ago.  She asked my daughter if she still remembers her and of course, my daughter said no.  Then she added, "I was the one who grabbed your head when you're still a baby" and she asked my daughter what does she wants, boy or girl, and my daughter said "boy and girl".  Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be having twins as the ultrasound showed only single fetus.  Anyway, she made funny joke with my daughter that if its a boy, will she be able to bring it home and my daughter said yes.  Hahaha.  She is so adorable, she has no idea that having a boy in the family means a lot! In my side of the family and my husband's side, the grandkids are all girls, so having a boy in the family means a lot to their respective father, grandparents and to everyone else.  He will surely be damn so lucky!

I gained 5 lbs since my last prenatal visit.  She asked me to watch my weight.  I felt my belly is bigger than the previous when compared at this month.  She told me that its perfectly fine and true because this is my second pregnancy.  I also noticed more often kicks and flutter compared with my first which she told me that is just normal.  At least, I won't ever again doubt about how big the baby is at this very moment.  Im also worried with my weight because I don't wanna jeopardize both our health for wrong diet.

My daughter heard baby's heartbeat for the first time and she was very happy.  The heartbeat sounds normal and I'll be seeing her again after 5 weeks.  My Blood pressure is quite low but normal 108/60.
